In an underground cave somewhere in the Southern Region, Daoist Wan Ming and the others were also making preparations.
However, their plan was different from before. After learning that the Frost Continent's people were also watching this place, they had been paying attention to their movements at all times.
After diligently investigating, they soon found the encampment set up by the immoral cultivators.
However, the news that came from below was not good. The Frost Continent's people were actually expanding their encampment there. It seemed that they wanted to build this place into a war fortress at the front line.
When Qi Yu learned about this, he could not help but show a worried look. This was because he could see that once the Frost Continent's people successfully established a military encampment there, they would constantly send people from their own province over.
This situation was extremely unfavorable for their side.
This was because even if they could win one or two battles for the Spirit Pass, as long as the Frost Continent's people could continuously send soldiers from the rear, they could continue to organize battle after battle until they were defeated.
This time, they were not competing with a group of people. Instead, they were competing with a power that controlled two states and possessed a powerful military force.
With their current strength, even if they were several times stronger, they would not be a match for the other party.
However, even after seeing the other party's amazing strength, Daoist Wan Ming was still very calm. However, he also saw the worry on Qi Yu's face. It was not difficult to imagine how the others would react when they heard the news.
He also knew that at this time, he had to reveal something to calm the people, so he said, "Daoist Qi Yu, do you know why the World Gap is called the World Gap?"
When Qi Yu heard him mention this, he thought for a moment and shook his head, "I only heard some rumors about the origin of the World Gap. I don't know if it's true or not."
Daoist Wan Ming said, "The reason why the World Gap can't be eroded by the Turbid Tide and keep the original appearance of the last era or a few eras ago is that it has always been supported by a mysterious power. Where does this mysterious power come from?"
Qi Yu seemed to have thought of something.
Daoist Wan Ming said, "This source of magical power is the key to the World Gap. Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the key to the World Gap. The reason why Tianxia called the World Gap 'Spiritual Pass' is actually referring to this place."
Qi Yu's spirit was slightly lifted as he asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that as long as we find this place and control it, we can prevent others from entering this place?"
Daoist Wan Ming nodded and said, "That's right. But I suspect that the people of Shuang Continent may also know about this, so we must find this place before they do. "
At this time, Qi Yu still had a question. "But EsGod is in there, and they seem to be living there all the time. Why didn't they take control of the place first?"
Daoist Wan Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the reason, but since this World Gap has been exposed, it means that those EsGod are unable to control this place. This is clearly a gift from heaven, so how can we not take it?"
At this time, a disciple came in from outside and cupped his hands to Daoist Wan Ming, saying, "Mister, there is movement over there." As he said that, he bowed and raised a letter over his head.
Daoist Wan Ming took it and looked at it, saying, "It's about time. Since those people of Shuang Continent are ready to enter the World Gap, we should also make a move. Let them take the lead first."
At this time, five airships had already risen from the station built by the people of Shuang Continent and were flying towards the southeast.
This time, the cultivator surnamed Ding also accompanied them. He sat on the main ship, and beside him were several other cultivators who looked just like him. However, these people all had strange expressions on their faces, and sometimes they would even smile inexplicably. It was clear that they couldn't be treated as normal people at all.
The cultivator surnamed Ding originally wanted to try and chat with them, but seeing this, he could only give up. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had identified the situation early and joined the people of Shuang Continent. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have ended up like this.
After traveling for half a summer's time, a spectacular rift valley appeared in front of the airships. It was like a scar on the earth, and the huge and broken gully extended into the distance, and it was difficult to see the end of it.
After the five airships approached this place, they slowed down and hovered in a certain place.
After a short moment, the cabin doors of four of the flying boats all swung open, and several hundred Crystal Jade Giants carrying Profound Weapons leaped down from the sky one after another. Moreover, they carried astonishing might and heavily smashed onto the ground, giving rise to bursts of smoke and dust.
After inspecting the surroundings and confirming that it was safe, a smaller airship descended from the belly of the main airship and slowly landed on the ground. The guard from before led the female crystal jade giant from before, as well as the cultivator surnamed Ding and the others out.
He walked to the edge of the rift valley and looked ahead. At this time, there were only a few thin white clouds in the sky. Under the bright sky, the wrinkles of the rock and the dry valley were clearly visible.
And just a few miles away, there was a calm and blue lake, embedded in the golden rock surface like a sapphire. It was an inner lake formed in the low-lying area of the rift valley.
One could see clouds of bluish-gray fog drifting around the lake, and from time to time, there would be flashes of light, like thunder in the dark clouds.
The female crystal jade giant said, "Gao Hujun, that is the entrance to the 'World Rift'. From the results of our previous investigations, this' World Rift 'should be a remnant from the last era. And according to our deductions, there is very likely a Divine Kingdom inside."
Gao Hujun said, "Will there be Ancient Gods inside?"
The female crystal jade giant calmly replied, "That shouldn't be the case. Ancient Gods existed in an even more ancient era. Even if there really is one, they should only be in a weak state of slumber, because the 'World Rift' cannot contain their power at their peak."
Gao Hujun turned his head, using his blood-red crystal eyes to look at the cultivator surnamed Ding, and said, "Mister Ding, what do you think?"
The cultivator surnamed Ding said, "I agree with Lan Sima's opinion. When Li Mo and I entered, we discovered that there seemed to be a huge Divine Kingdom inside, and there were relatively powerful Otherworldly Gods there. We did not want to clash with them, so we had no choice but to retreat. But if there are Ancient Gods, then there is no way we could have made it out alive."
Gao Hujun turned his head, looking forward, and said, "Lan Sima, split up a group and stand guard outside. The rest of you, follow me in."
The female crystal jade giant cupped her fists in acknowledgement, and she immediately went to give the order. Immediately, more than thirty people stayed behind, standing guard outside.
Gao Hujun raised his head, and his figure slowly left the ground. Then, with a whoosh, he suddenly flew forward. Lan Sima also tapped his foot, jumping down from the top of the rift valley and chasing after him.
And behind them, hundreds of crystal jade giants also rose into the air, flying towards the lake.
The cultivator surnamed Ding looked left and right, and when he saw that his former comrades were following him like marionettes, he shook his head, and the black fog on his body surged. He also turned into a ray of light and blended into the crowd.
Gao Hujun was the first to rush above the layer of thin fog, and his figure instantly disappeared into it. The soldiers behind him also did not hesitate to crash into it, and one by one, they disappeared into the thin fog.
After the last person's figure disappeared, only the thirty crystal jade giants were left standing guard outside.
After about half a summer's time, Daoist Wan Ming, Qi Yu, and the others also arrived outside the rift valley. They stood on the clouds and looked into the distance, and they could see five flying ships floating in the sky, and the crystal jade giants guarding below.
Daoist Wan Ming's eyes were gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Qi Yu said with a serious expression, "Although those flying ships are not used by Douzhan, there might be Xuan Weapons on them. If we go there like this, I'm afraid we will be attacked by them. Daoist Wan Ming, let me take some people up there and take down those flying ships first."
Daoist Wan Ming said faintly, "No need, I'll take care of it." He stood still, and a moment later, a bright figure flew out from his body. It seemed to be of the same height as him, and in a flash, it flew into the distance.
Zhang Yu flew all the way. One day later, he left the Qingyang Upper Continent and arrived outside the continent. Then, he quickly passed through the crimson Wasteland and arrived at the vast Wilderness.
He first went to the encampment mentioned by Li Mo to confirm the situation.
Because he was told the detailed location in advance, it did not take him much effort to find this place.
However, when he arrived here, he saw that the territory that Li Mo had described as relatively safe was now replaced by numerous sturdy military fortresses.
There was also a huge diamond-shaped crystal jade standing in the middle of the encampment, surrounded by flying ships that were different from those of the Qingyang Army. In addition, there were some crystal jade giants going in and out of the encampment.
There was no doubt that this place had been occupied by the people of the Shuang Continent.
He thought for a moment. The problem of this encampment was easy to solve. He just had to go back and report to the two prefectures. Naturally, the two prefectures would send ships to destroy it. However, he did not know how Li Mo and the others were doing. For now, he could only hope that they were fine.
After looking down one more time, he flew away.
The "Spirit Pass" was not far from this encampment, and it was very easy to identify. With the premise that he knew the direction, he quickly came to the top of the Great Rift Valley. His sharp eyes swept back and forth a few times, and then he saw the beautiful lake floating with lightning and mist.
However, he immediately noticed that there seemed to have been a battle here. On the ground around him were broken flying ships, and nearby were twisted black figures. They were embedded in the rock surface, and looked like they had been melted by something.
Seeing that there were no living creatures nearby at this moment, he floated down from the sky. After landing, he reached out and grabbed the Cicada Sword in his hand. Then, he waved his sleeves and stepped into the lightning mist.
